Why would you think it's getting abandoned? If you took 10 seconds you would see that they are posting monthly on their patreon. This game always takes forever to update.

That was a bug fix.
The last story update was June/July 2019.
It was Amy's story.
According to the updates, there hasn't been an update to this since last August so nothing at all this year.

Amy's path had me lol'ing

Log in or register now.
With the slow updates and how he's been delaying the Patreon payments anyway, this is one I wish was a per-update pledge - a year+ between content updates makes monthly a bit off.
It's been a loooooong time. I first installed the game October 2019 (hospital stay, so I remember acutely), and that install already had the Amy route in it back then. Sooooo... It sounds like in the past year they added android support and corrected spelling.
A year+ between significant content updates is just ridiculous.
For the record, I think it's a spectacular game, I just take issue with the development cycle.

That's been my issue for 2 years now. The game is fantastic but I don't rate the devs work ethic very highly.

For many developers, creating games and visual novels is mainly a hobby, not a source of income that plays a significant role in their budget. It depends where you live, but I think in most western countries less than $ 2,000 in net income is not something that covers basic needs like food and housing and other necessities. And only a small percentage of adult game developers make more.

I disagree here. It's more than enough if you're not a wasteful person!
I'm from Germany and it's surely okay if you've ~1.500€ (1.750 $) net income in a month. And if the rent isn't too much (you can live here -depends on city- as single in a ~400-500€ 1-2 room appartement), so you can more than "survive" with ~1k € leftovers.
Yeah, it's not a luxurary life, but though, with ~2k $ you can buy more things than just rent, food & necessities.

Monthly Update: Bored Edition
Time flies and the month is about to change which means it's time for the good, old monthly update. This time is pretty much straight flying towards 0.4 as I mentioned in the last update.
As a quick reminder, a quick technical test release should be out at some point between October 12 and 18 (mostly just because that's the week I will be having a short break from my new job). This will just test some new tech stuff including videos and experimental 3d-stuff. If no major issues come up, early Patreon release should be at some point after that.
Other than that I will be releasing more content as usual and I'll probably speed up the pace as the release crawls closer. Also the $10 special series continues.
Like before, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). It takes some stress off me so I can hopefully make a solid release and finish things properly.
The rest of the post is a mostly copy and paste from my last update for those who are new or want to be reminded what will be coming next. See you in the next post, thanks for your support!
---
So, TL;DR:
* Possibly some new tech in 0.4: interactive 3D and pre-rendered movies, at least a few of each. When I get the pipeline (and my skills) working smoothly, next releases should have more.
* Test release planned at some point before the real release, testing animations etc.
* After 0.4 I will try out a bit faster release schedule with partial updates instead of releasing large, complete routes that take ages to finish. We'll see how it goes.
* Steam release at some point after 0.4 is out. Steam has been pretty random with adult games, so who knows what can happen.
Just because you can live with that in Germany doesn't mean everywhere is like that you can barely cover rent with that where I'm at. Hence Depends where you live. There is a world outside of Germany you know.

He said "western countries", Germany it is, so I gived an example. You can give an another example with your country.
And yeah, you can pay in Germany 2k or 3k € for a rent too, but that was not the topic.
Bermuda the cheapest you can find in a poor area for a Studio is 1500 $ (the BMD is equal in value to USD) if you can find anything less than that you would be extremely lucky. On average rent for a Studio is 1800 $.
Bermuda is also western country.
